Bitcoin != blockchain.
Bitcoin is too centralized in too few individuals. Better off restarting from scratch for any valid uses of blockchain if any are found.

PC ecosystem has flourished because it everyone is able to innovate in that space. If it was one company trying to dominate it all, it would be bad for the industry.
To me, there is nothing else more important and I will never use an Apple product because of this. Even if they were free.
Any concerns with Android I've seen such as privacy, are secondary in my view as you have the freedom to use other devices, apps, etc.

Publishing is one thing, but if they can offer above or below the posted range during negotiations then the law has no teeth. And how wide can the range be?
As I hiring manager that's dealt with this -- Colorado already has a similar law -- it's not as useful as people think it is. Hiring Managers create a job posting for a particular level. At that level, you show the pay band. It should be real data for employees at the level. This part is somewhat useful information. Albeit, stock grants != salary range. However, the big gap in utility with this law is that when you interview candidates, you might decide they aren't a match for the level you created the job posting under. So you can create a new job posting with a lower level or high level, and offer the candidate the alternative posting. The salary range for which the candidate applied is irrelevant under the other posting. I've hired many employees using the concept of a funnel req. A one or two reqs that describe the position, we assess level, then redirect to a more specific posting that might not be advertised or advertised as broadly.

Or, are you sexist and believe that the 14% of women entering college are proportionally superior to 86% of the males?
Until more women become interested in tech careers expecting to see significant changes in hiring isn't going to happen (other than by failing or soon to be failing companies).
